years of age. has for the past three years been
cousin of the late Reuben r. Springer, Cincin-
MATHS munifcent CITIZEN In his will he left her
legacy Of Sc, 900. which she was to get when
she reached her twenty first year. Among her
suitors was Arthur Holman. a well-to-do young
man. She was only sixteen years old when he
first paid attention to her, but after short
caurtship they were married. Two years
and half after that she left him,
and took with her their daughter
Mr.. Holman applied for divorce and got a
decree in his favor last November. Mrs
Holman, with the child, returned to her
fathers house. She frequently attended the
Museum and other places of amusement
There she became acquainted with John E.
Brown, who attempted to be detective but
who at this time was night clerk of the Cali
fornia House He told her that he was an
actor. and well fixed financially. His calls on
her were continuous, and as Mr. Smith objected
to him very strongly, on the 25th of February,
the young couple left this city for Louis
vile. They were married there the next day,
he giving his name Charles F. Davis.

married man. The records in the county clerks
Office show that on the 9th of March. 1886. John
E. Brown married to Mary NJ Hawkins, oil

The Rumored Sale of the b. & O.

NEW YORK, March 15.-Nothing could be
learned, to- night, of the result of the Sully-
Sage conference to-day, but it is generally be-
lieved that the floating rumors are, in the main,
correct, and that the first payment for the con-
troll of the Baltimore & Ohio stock has been
subscribed. Mr. Sully was repeatedly ques-
toned in regard to the meeting, but refused to
give any information. and would not even admit
that he had been present at the conference. The
reports affected the stock market favorably, and
the majority OF the operators believe that an
agreement of some kind has been concluded.
Nearly all interest in the Baltimore g. Ohio
railroad deal has died out at Baltimore, and,
while the impression is general that a deal has
been made, there is disposition to wait patient
ly until it is authoritatively announced. Mr..
Garrett was in his Office to-day. and in a very
happy mood, but would say nothing. Three
hundred shares of the stock of the Baltimore &
Ohio changed hands at the Stock Exchange to-
day, fifteen OF which sold for 81. 68 and the bal
ance at $l65. The deal has almost entirely
ceased to be discussed.

DESTROYS of snatching the l., 2. q G. from the
hands of the railroad wreckers OF the old
Wabash and could not be used to advantage as
general manager, and then. it is stated that GER
tain persons who have accepted positions on the
l., r. & G. have little confidence in the per-
manency of their positions that they have left a
bridge up. over which they can return to the
jobs they left. and the more the whole affair is
investigated the more evidence comes to the sur
face that in due time the l., p. 81 C. will be q
part of the Wabash system, either by lease or
purchase.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company is spend
ing much money on the Strengthening of Its
tracks to avoid the dangerous curves in the Ber-
gen cut in Jersey City. This hill was cut through
at an enormous expense nearly twenty years ago.
and the old entrance into Jersey City shortened
By two or three miles. But to meet the require
ments Of the then situation curve with 45o
intersection angle was made in the rock-cuttng
Last year work was commenced with the pur-
pose of avoiding this curve, including new cut
ting and heavy embankments across the meadow
land. 1t is in the last named portion OF the
work that the difficulty and expense is met with.
At certain points many thousands Of tors of
earth filling have been swallowed up.
Probably one Of the best runs ever made on a
road In this country was made between Rich
nond, Ind, aud the crossing of the Belt ROAD at

The distance is sixty-fve miles. The eighteen
miles between Greenfield and the Belt road were
| covered by this train in sixteen minutes. When
the train left Richmond, Superintendent Turner,
it is stated, stepped on to the foot-board of the
| engineer and told him if he would run that
train into the Union Depot. Indianapolis, at lie
A. NJ, he would give him the best box of cigars

the depot at LOG. When the schedule for this
fast train was made out, General Manager Nc

| at" and the officers and trainmen seem quite
| determined that his wishes in the matter shall
| be carried out. unless some careless switchmal
